Stephanie
Budd is the CitySprouts Garden Educator at the Haggerty School this
school year! She is bringing almost 10 years of growing experience and
science knowledge to the position. Most recently, she spent 3 years
designing original curriculum and teaching middle school science classes
in The Gambia. With that school, Stephanie started an on-site garden
that enhanced student learning and was ultimately managed by students.
The bulk of Stephanie’s farming know-how was developed throughout 6
years of leading afterschool and summer farm programming at the Chicago
Lights Urban Farm in Chicago. She managed the Children's Garden, but
also taught youth cooking classes with farm produce and led a creative
arts program inspired by nature. Stephanie’s favorite things to do are
get her hands dirty, bake with pumpkins, and learn new farm puns!

Race Matters: Courageous Conversations
Wee the People - Thursday, November 7th - 6 - 7:30 PM
What is Racism?
Kids notice a LOT -- including skin
color. They sense that it matters, and they have questions about how and
why. Together we will explore how racism isn’t just one thing, but a
system with many parts working together. Through activities, kids will
learn how they can help disrupt and topple these systems. More info.
This workshop is geared toward parents/caregivers and students
together.
New this year Race matters will be
sending out a monthly newsletter with anti-racist articles, books, and
actions steps. e-mail [email protected] if you want to be added to our listserv.
